Other than Escudo, my go to is Peterson De-luxe Navy Rolls. But, they don't meet your remit, since they're coins.
It is a pain in the butt to have to rub them out, but I guess it's all part of the enjoyment. I'm always amazed at how sticky my fingers get from the sugars.
As an aside, what other VaPers do you smoke?

Gl pease Stratford is a good ribbon cut vaper. Don’t know how it compares to escudo as I haven’t had that one in a long time.
Hearth & Home Louisiana Red

It doesn’t get talked about much these days but I highly recommend Elizabethan Mixture and it’s readily available. It used to be harder to get.
Yes, it is also available in flake as well as bulk. Pretty solid smoke, imo.
The only ribbon VaPers I have are Peterson Irish Oak (called Irish Cask now) and Lane 125th Anniversary. Both of these are very low on perique content, however, so if you're in search of something on the higher end of the strength spectrum (like where GLP Windjammer would be, for example), you can count those two out.
Sutliff Match Victorian.
Readily available, offered in bulk, reasonably priced and quite good.
You're welcome.

GLP Telegraph Hill is a very popular ribbon cut VAPer.
Apologies for the back-to-back post.
For some unknown reason, I associate Elizabethan Mixture with Royal Yacht, which gets a raw deal from most folk, which is probably why I haven't gone for EM.
I’ll second Telegraph Hill. It’s not the same as escudo but it’s in the ballpark. It’s what I would grab if it had to be a ribbon cut.
Escudo is a coin-cut, thus its name
I’ll add another recommendation for GL Pease Telegraph Hill
It's nothing like Escudo, but it's a super Va/Per on its own merits.
Thanks though, I have a ton of each, so might be worth trying out.
The options really are endless here. There's so many available. I'll agree with Match Victorian, Telegraph Hill, and strongly suggest Bayou Morning although I prefer the flake.
